CMO - The yield is too high to be sustainable, of course, and these guys have more knowledge of the situation than you or I do. So I will let them be my guide:

However, I've also been a yield pig for the past 2 years. But I do not hate to admit it. First in traditional REITs, then in other high yielding securities. Stocks like ALD, various preferred shares, and even a few utilities.

On utilities, if you're interested, I owned LNT earlier in the year and just bought it back on Friday. There were/are (?) a few issues on allowable rate increases but at this price I think it's factored in. I'll take a 7.7% yield that looks sustainable, insiders are buying, and the stock has 15% to 20% upside according to my sometimes defective crystal ball.

I also especially like ATG among other utilities.

PS Paul, I joined you in a good LAF on friday. (I used to own it in 2000-2001.)

Wallace Rivers, (or anyone else following CMO): Do you have a current opinion on CMO? Grommit's link to insider sales scared me off, but now that the stock's come down a little...

Dividend is not sustainable, I'd guess. I notice though that they have paid dividends at least since '85 or '86. Not that that will help stockholders going forward from today.
